Yes, I have a Rom1 w 4Meg Ram card, CFFA, Superdrive, Apple HS SCSI card,
ZipGS MHz/64K, Appletalk networked.  Works fine 24/7.  I got the CFFA from
Run #1 so it has been a while since I set it up in present config.
Looking at my slot settings I am not sure WHY it is working.

  Slot 1 - Your card, CFFA 256Meg Sansdisk, 4 32Meg ProDOS, 1 HFS
  Slot 2 - Modem port
  Slot 3 - Text display
  Slot 4 - Mouse Port
  Slot 5 - Your card, Superdrive controller, 1 Superdrive, 1 Apple 800K
  Slot 6 - Your card, Apple HS SCSI, no drive connected
  Slot 7 - Appletalk
  Startup - Scan

The system boots from CFFA, not the Appletalk Appleshare 3.0 server. (I do
not know why.)

System is stable, even SCSI works if I attach drive (becomes boot drive).
IIRC, I can boot from server if startup is set to slot 7 instaed of Scan.
I think the CFFA also works (and boots) is Startup is Slot 1.

So, it all works.  I don't know why yours doesn't.  It should.  So keep
trying.

I also use a 192Meg CFFA in my ROM3 at home, but boot from HS SCSI. I
haven't installed a Superdrive controller in it yet.
